Do they just provide you with a steam/uplay code and you just activate it?

Thinking of buying AC4.

For Ubisoft games on Amazon you will be given a uplay key which can't be used on Steam.

Just be aware that some games bought on Amazon US are region locked - the Metro series for example.

@Kyrne, you need to register another address with Amazon, a fake one in one of the US states without sales tax. Use that address when buying.

depends on the game, some are still steam keys. Best bet is to check the drm stated in the game description.

When it stops you for being non US, you just need to edit the billing address to a US address. Even then you only really need to have a US city, state and zip code, the rest can be your normal details.
